Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a gas supply structure for a substrate processing apparatus which produces plasma in a chamber to treat a substrate surface. [Prior Art] As is well known to those skilled in the art, the manufacture of electronic components, such as large integrated circuit (LSI) circuits or flat panel displays (fpds), typically undergoes processing such as vacuum processing of the substrate. In the vacuum processing method, the gas system is supplied into the chamber, and the plasma system uses high-voltage discharge to generate the "acceleration force of the plasma particles to substantially smear the material onto the substrate. The material on the substrate is chemically decomposed by free radicals of the plasma. The technique of treating a substrate by plasma is classified into a PE (plasma surname) technique, a rie (reactive ion etch) technique, a MERIE (magnetic field enhanced reactive ion etch) technique, and an ECR (electron) according to a method of forming a plasma. Cyclotron acceleration resonance technology, TCP (variable pressure coupled plasma) technology, ICP (inductively coupled plasma) technology, etc. In particular, the formation of high density plasma and enhanced plasma density uniformity across the glass (or semiconductor) substrate greatly affects deposition or etching performance. In order to achieve these goals, a variety of methods for generating plasma have been developed. The ICP (Inductively Coupled Plasma) method is a representative example of such plasma generation methods. The ICP method is a method of producing a high-density plasma which generates an induced magnetic field inside the coil and a second induced current in the reaction chamber according to the fact that the electric field is changed after the coil 201135837 is wound around the dielectric. As a matter of §, the substrate processing apparatus using the ICP method includes a lower electrode which is assembled in the lower half of the reaction chamber. The substrate is placed on the lower electrode. The device further includes an antenna that fits within the chamber or on the upper cover frame that is coupled to the outer cover of the chamber. Apply RF power to the antenna. The substrate surface is treated by supplying a reactive gas into the chamber and generating a plasma. With respect to the configuration in which the process gas is injected into the chamber of the substrate processing apparatus, it has a direct injection structure and a nozzle structure. Depending on the configuration of the injection process gas into the chamber, the uniformity of plasma density and the effectiveness of substrate deposition or etching can vary significantly. Therefore, there is a need for a gas injection structure suitable for the improvement of the tendency of the substrate processing apparatus to be enlarged. It is to be understood that the prior art is the information obtained by the inventors of the present invention prior to the interpretation of the present invention or during the process of the present invention, and Of course, this does not mean that the construction of the prior art is known before the filing date.

The features of the substrate processing apparatus according to the present invention will be described in more detail below. First, the upper cover frame 20 will be described with reference to Figs. 2 and 3. 201135837 The upper cover frame 20 has a rectangular frame configuration. The upper cover frame 2〇 is internally divided into five parts, and five windows 30 are defined by each of the five parts, respectively. The upper frame 2〇 includes an outer frame 21 which forms a periphery of the rectangular frame structure, and The split frame 25 is fitted inside the outer frame and joined to each other 'so the inner frame 21 is internally divided into five parts' to form five windows 30. The five windows 3'' formed in the upper cover frame 20 include a center window 3a, which is disposed at a central portion' of the upper cover frame 20, and four peripheral windows 3''' are disposed around the center window 3''. The center window 30A and the peripheral window 30B have a rectangular shape. In this embodiment, as shown in the drawings, the four peripheral windows 3B are disposed in a clockwise direction around the center window 3GA. When ^, the four peripheral windows can be placed around the center window 30A in a counterclockwise direction. In the case where the peripheral window 30B has a rectangular shape, each of the peripheral windows 30B includes a first side a, a second side b, a third side ^ and a fourth side d. The first side a separates the circumference. The side window 3〇B and the center window 3〇A and the clockwise direction

The second side b separates the peripheral window 30B and the other neighboring peripheral window MB located rearward in the clockwise direction. The third side e is opposed to the first side a and is in contact with the peripheral surface of the upper cover frame 壌. The fourth side d is opposed to the second side b and borders the peripheral surface of the upper cover frame 2〇. Ideally, the first side of each of the peripheral window sills and the corresponding side of the central window and the second side b of the peripheral window disposed in front of the front window, both 201135837 3〇A are connected clockwise. All peripheral windows 30B are continuously disposed around the central window. Further, the first side of each of the peripheral window frames is formed with the divided frame 25 corresponding to the second side, and the third side thereof. The outer frame 21 is formed by d times the fourth side. Thus, each of the peripheral windows borders the four sides of the center window 3A and the four windows 3B are disposed around the center window 30A in a clockwise or counterclockwise direction. Therefore, basically, the peripheral window forms a regular arrangement. The insulating plate 31 made of, for example, Tao Jing's material is pulled into the central window 30A formed in the above configuration and the peripheral edge m-plate supporting member 22 has a stepped configuration, which is formed in the outer frame 胄 21 & And on both sides of the equally divided frame 25 'so the periphery of each of the insulating sheets 3 1 is supported by the corresponding insulating plate support 22 . Further, the brackets 23 and 26 are mounted on the outer frame 21 and the split frame 25 to prevent the insulating plate 31 from being unintentionally separated from the window 3. As shown, each of the brackets 23 fitted to the outer frame 21 has an L-shaped cross section, and each of the brackets 26 fitted to the split frame 25 has a u-shaped cross section. The U-shaped bracket 26 can support two insulating plates 31 assembled on opposite sides of a single split frame. The brackets 23 and 26 can be fixed to the upper cover frame 2 by a fixing member or the like. Further, the shape and configuration of each of the brackets %, % can be adjusted in various ways as necessary. Referring to Fig. 3, the heating fluid passage 24a is formed in the outer frame 21 of the upper cover frame plus 201135837, thereby heating the fluid of the upper cover frame. It can flow along the heating fluid passage 24a. Further, the inlet and outlet connector 2 can be mounted on the pre-twist portion of the outer frame 21, so that the heating fluid passage 24a can be coupled to the external heating fluid supply line by the joint 24b. Further, an antenna crossing groove 27 is formed in the divided frame 25 of the upper cover frame 2 to form a space in the split frame 25, so that the peripheral antenna 45, which will be explained in detail herein, can pass through the split frame 25. In other words, as shown in Fig. 2, the antenna crossing groove 27 is formed in the split frame 25 which partitions the peripheral windows 3〇b from each other. In Fig. 3, reference numeral 28 denotes an antenna fixing bracket which is installed in each of the antenna crossing grooves 27 to fix the antenna to the corresponding dividing frame 25. The symbol 29 indicates an antenna holder that covers each of the antenna fixing brackets 28 to prevent the peripheral position from being removed. Preferably, the antenna holder 29 also has a U-shaped scraping surface. More preferably, the antenna holder 29 is configured such that it also functions to grip the corresponding insulating plate 31. Meanwhile, although the upper cover pivot 20 is illustrated as having a rectangular frame configuration, the present invention is not limited thereto. For example, the ± cover frame 帛 2 () 彳 has a pentagonal or hexagonal frame configuration ' and its configuration can be adjusted in various ways as necessary. The arrangement of the antenna 4A of the substrate processing apparatus equipped with the upper cover frame 2 of the above configuration will now be described with reference to Figs. Referring to Fig. 3, two center antennas 41 are mounted on the upper cover frame (10) central solid 30A. The four peripheral antennas 45 are mounted on the four peripheral windows on the 201135837. The four central antennas are placed in the center of the upper cover frame central window 30A. The two central antennas 41 contain the center of the two antenna frames' and are surrounded by a clockwise direction. The central window 30A extends. Four peripheral antennas 45 are equipped with you,! Matching so that one antenna is placed in the corresponding

天線453及第四周邊天線454以與第一周邊天線45丨及 第二周邊天線452相同的方式設置。因此,基本上,四 個周邊天線45以螺旋形態規則安排,同時以一致的間隙 彼此隔開。 在圖式中,元件符號401表示其上置入中央天線41或 每一個周邊天線45的部分。元件符號405表示端點支撐 件’其設置在中央天線41或每一個周邊天線4 5延伸所 達處’因此對應的天線40可利用該端點支撐件與接地部 分連結。 較佳地,在每一個天線固接支架28内形成三個天線嵌 入孔28a,因此通過對應分割框架25的三個周邊天線45 嵌入各自的天線嵌入孔28a中。天線托座(29 ;參見第2 10 201135837 圖)與天線固接支帛28的上半部分連結,因成匕周邊天線 45可穩定地固接至天線固接支架28。 在提供具有上述設置的上蓋框架2〇和天線4〇之本發 明中,腔室中電漿的產生方向與周邊窗和天線圍繞上蓋 框架的中央窗之配置的構造有緊密關聯。因此,在基板 處理操作期間,不僅可在腔室的中央部分上形成,也可 在腔至的邊緣部分上形成密度均勻的電漿。此外,渦流 在分割框架25周圍產生,因而可進一步平均分配電漿。 因此,由於上蓋框架20與天線4〇的上述配置,可顯著 改善處理效能。 第4圖係顯示配置天線之構造的另一實施例之平面 圖0 第4圖所示之天線4〇’包含中央天線41,及周邊天線

的方法例如,藉由在其上連接加熱空氣供應管線。在 本實施例中’使用滿流產生器73。猶後將參考第12圖 於本文做解釋。 如第14圖所示,在冷卻天線4〇的構造中每一個天 線(40,4 1、45)均具有中空管狀,並且冷卻流體流經管 狀天線40,因而冷卻天線4〇。 在實施例中,冷卻路徑可經配置得使冷卻流體經由天 線40的起始端通入天線4〇,然後由其尾端從天線排 出。沿著天線40流動的冷卻流體路線之結構可利用熟知 技術實施,因此省略進一步的解釋。 在本發月之貫施例中,加熱板的加熱及天線的冷卻 可利用渦流產生器73 —同實施。這將會詳細解釋。 渦流產生器73為能量分離元件,其利用環管(circular tube)及具簡單構造的喷嘴將壓縮空氣分為低溫^氣和高 溫空氣,而不使用任何化學作用或燃燒作用。如第12圖 所示,壓縮空氣經由供應管供應至渦流管74内。然後, 供應至渦流管74内的壓縮空氣首先進入渦流旋轉室75 並以超间速旋轉。旋轉空氣朝加熱空氣出口行進。在此 同時,當次渦流通過位於主渦流内部之較低壓區域時, 15 201135837 次渦流損失熱並朝冷卻空氣出口行進。在這兩種空氣流 中’由於内側空氣流之空氣微粒旋轉一次所需時間與外 侧空氣流之空氣微粒相同,因此内側空氣流的移動速度 低於外側空氣流。此移動速度的差異意味著動能的降 低。喪失的動能轉換成熱因而增加外側空氣流的溫度, 而内側空氣流的溫度則進一步降低。 加熱官7 1與天線40的冷卻路徑分別與渦流產生器73 的兩端連接。如此,同時加熱絕緣板3丨並冷卻天線4〇 的構造可利用此一簡單構造實施。 同時,雖然所示之渦流產生器用做提供加熱空氣與冷 卻空氣的設施,但該設施並不限於渦流產生器。可使用 具備其他構造的冷卻器,且可分開提供供應加熱空氣的 設施與供應冷卻空氣的設施。

For example, referring to Fig. 3, the first-peripheral antenna 451 extends clockwise from the first peripheral window 3〇1 through the second peripheral window 3(10) and the third periphery f303 to the fourth peripheral window 3〇4. The second peripheral antenna 452 extends from the second peripheral window 3〇2 through the third peripheral window 3〇3 and the fourth peripheral window 304 to the first peripheral window 3〇丨 in a clockwise direction. The beginning end of the second peripheral antenna 452 is disposed inside the first peripheral antenna 45A. The third peripheral antenna 453 and the fourth peripheral antenna 454 are disposed in the same manner as the first peripheral antenna 45A and the second peripheral antenna 452. Therefore, basically, the four peripheral antennas 45 are regularly arranged in a spiral shape while being spaced apart from each other with a uniform gap. In the drawings, reference numeral 401 denotes a portion on which the center antenna 41 or each of the peripheral antennas 45 is placed. The symbol 405 indicates that the end support ' is disposed at the point where the center antenna 41 or each of the peripheral antennas 45 extends. Thus, the corresponding antenna 40 can be coupled to the ground portion by the end support. Preferably, three antenna insertion holes 28a are formed in each of the antenna fixing brackets 28, and thus are embedded in the respective antenna insertion holes 28a through the three peripheral antennas 45 corresponding to the division frame 25. The antenna holder (29; see Fig. 2 10 201135837) is coupled to the upper half of the antenna fixing bracket 28, and the peripheral antenna 45 can be stably fixed to the antenna fixing bracket 28. In the present invention providing the upper cover frame 2'' and the antenna 4'' having the above arrangement, the direction in which the plasma is generated in the chamber is closely related to the configuration of the peripheral window and the arrangement of the antenna around the central window of the upper cover frame. Therefore, during the substrate processing operation, not only a central portion of the chamber but also a plasma of uniform density can be formed on the edge portion of the cavity. Further, eddy currents are generated around the split frame 25, so that the plasma can be further distributed evenly. Therefore, due to the above configuration of the upper cover frame 20 and the antenna 4, the processing efficiency can be remarkably improved. Figure 4 is a plan view showing another embodiment of the configuration of the antenna. The antenna 4' shown in Fig. 4 includes a central antenna 41, and the peripheral antenna 45'' is oriented toward the central antenna of the embodiment of Fig. 3. 41 and the peripheral antenna 45 are oriented in opposite directions. Each of the four peripheral antennas 45 includes two branch antennas 45& which are separated from a single lead. Therefore, the four pairs of peripheral antennas 45 are disposed in a spiral form on the four peripheral windows 3B. Next, the configuration in which the process gas is supplied and injected to the substrate processing apparatus equipped with the upper cover frame 2 of the above configuration will be explained with reference to Figs. 5 to 1 . In one embodiment, the spray head (61; see Fig. 7) is fitted over a portion of the split frame 25 (with the central window 30A defined therein) to allow process gases to be injected from the spray head 61 into the chamber. In other words, the central window 3A has a moment 201135837. The wiper that can inject the process gas into the chamber "is assembled on each of the four divided frames 25 forming the central window 30A. Figure 7 shows that An inverted perspective view of the central portion of the upper cover frame 2. The configuration of the head 61 will be described with reference to this figure. / Each of the heads 61 disposed on the corresponding divided frame 25 forming the four sides of the center window 30A includes a plurality of regular forms. An injection hole 62a is provided. In the embodiment of Fig. 7, the nozzle 61 is configured to inject process gases into the chamber from the four sides of the center window 3GA instead of the central window. Each of the heads 61 has a groove (63; see Fig. 6) formed in the lower surface of the dividing frame 25 to pass the process gas through the groove 63; and the head plate 62' having the injection hole 62a at Therein, and in addition to the outside of the recess 63, the split frame 25 is joined. Sections 8 to 1 show a cross-sectional view of the split frame of the assembly head plate 62. Several embodiments of the injection configuration of the reference head_head 61 will be described. The injection structure of the head 6i contains an injection table The face (4) is formed on the lower surface of the split frame 25. As shown in Fig. 8, the injection surface (4) is oriented in the horizontal direction, and the injection hole 62a is oriented in the vertical direction. Further, as shown in Fig. 9, the injection surface 62b It may have a semicircular or + elliptical arc shape, and the injection hole 62a may be formed in a radially outwardly extending shape in the arcuate injection surface 62b, the arcuate injection surface Mb, and the radial injection hole 62a, forming A simple configuration that effectively distributes the range gas to the chamber evenly, thereby enhancing the efficiency of the substrate processing operation. 12 201135837 Alternatively, as shown in Fig. 10, not only on the lower surface of the split frame 25, but also on the segmentation An injection surface 62b'' is formed on one side of the frame 25, and can penetrate the lower surface and the corresponding side of the split frame 25 to form an injection hole 62a". In this case, the side injection hole 62a is preferably configured such that the discharged process gas is injected into the center window 30A from the side injection hole 62a'. The configuration in which the process gas is supplied to the head 61 which can be applied to several embodiments having the above configuration will now be described with reference to the related drawings including Figs. 5 and 6. The process gas supply configuration can be implemented in a variety of ways. In an embodiment, the air inlets (64; see Fig. 6) are formed in the division frame 25 at positions adjacent to the four corners of the center window 30A. The intake pipe 65 is vertically coupled to the upper surface of the split frame 25 having the intake port 64. The process gas supply configuration may be configured such that the gas supplied through each of the intake pipes 65 flows along only the flow direction formed in the corresponding split frame 25 in one direction or in two directions based on the corresponding angle of the center window 30A. . In the case where the process gas supply configuration is configured to cause the gas to flow in both directions, a barrier wall may be provided in the intermediate portion of each of the grooves 63 forming the flow passages in the corresponding side of the center window 30A. Since the intake pipe 65 is fitted around the four corners of the center window 3A, the process gas supply configuration can be formed without hindering the holding of the bracket 26 or 29 of the insulating plate 31. Element symbols 65a and 65b denote flanges of the intake pipe 65. The upper flange 65a is fixed to the upper cover structure fitted above the chamber, and the lower flange 13 201135837 65b is fixed to the upper cover frame 2''. In the present embodiment, 'four inlets ma ^ and s65 are assembled around the center window 30A. 8 See Fig. 5 for distributing the single oxygen supply tube 66a for the library to the four intake pipes 65. The soil, & ^ knife is divided into two first supply tubes 66b. Each of the first supply tubes 66b branches into a plurality of trays; v^^ is depleted into two second supply tubes 66c. The second supplier 66c is connected to the corresponding intake pipe 65. Meanwhile, although the display 1 is a rectangular configuration, the present invention is not limited thereto. Depending on the pen adjustment..., the construction of 0 can be done in various ways. The configuration, for example, may have an octagonal or hexagonal configuration. The structure of the cooling antenna 40 and the configuration of the heating insulating plate 31 are described with reference to Figs. The configuration of the heating insulating plate 31 includes a heating pipe 71 which discharges the heating air to the insulating plate 31. The heating pipe 71 is designed to form a fitting suitable for heating the insulating plate 均, and the configuration of the heating pipe 71 can be appropriately adjusted as long as it can uniformly heat the insulating plate 3丨. In the embodiment of the drawings, two heating lines are assembled on each of the peripheral windows 30Β. The insulating plate 3 1 disposed in the central window view is heated by a heating line extending from the peripheral window to the door ® 〇 3 〇 B. Add: The camp line includes a heating pipe 71 which is disposed on the window in a horizontal direction and has a discharge hole toward the window. The π Tianran 'heating tube 71 can be placed lower or higher than the antenna disposed on the window to avoid interference therebetween. The heating line 71a can be connected between the heating tubes 71 as shown in Fig. In this case, 'each of the heating tubes, the line 71a contains a tube having a diameter smaller than that of the heat pipe 71 of 14 201135837. Alternatively, there may be no heating line 71a. Thus, since the apparatus of the present invention is equipped with the heating of the heatable insulating sheet 31, the deposition of the polymer on the insulating sheet in the chamber 10 is reduced. The method of supplying heated air into the heating pipe 71 can be implemented using various configurations, for example, by connecting a heated air supply line thereto. In the present embodiment, the full stream generator 73 is used. I will refer to Figure 12 for an explanation in this article. As shown in Fig. 14, each of the antennas (40, 41, 45) in the configuration of the cooling antenna 4 has a hollow tubular shape, and the cooling fluid flows through the tubular antenna 40, thereby cooling the antenna 4''. In an embodiment, the cooling path may be configured such that the cooling fluid passes into the antenna 4A via the beginning of the antenna 40 and is then discharged from the antenna by its trailing end. The structure of the cooling fluid path flowing along the antenna 40 can be implemented using well-known techniques, and thus further explanation is omitted. In the embodiment of the present month, the heating of the heating plate and the cooling of the antenna can be carried out by using the eddy current generator 73. This will explain in detail. The vortex generator 73 is an energy separating element that divides compressed air into low-temperature gas and high-temperature air using a circular tube and a nozzle having a simple configuration without using any chemical action or combustion action. As shown in Fig. 12, compressed air is supplied into the vortex tube 74 via the supply pipe. Then, the compressed air supplied into the vortex tube 74 first enters the vortex rotating chamber 75 and rotates at a super-intermediate speed. Rotating air travels toward the heated air outlet. At the same time, when the secondary vortex passes through the lower pressure region located inside the main vortex, 15 201135837 eddy currents lose heat and travel toward the cooling air outlet. In these two air flows, the air particles in the inner air flow rotate for the same time as the air particles of the outer air flow, so the inner air flow moves at a lower speed than the outer air flow. This difference in moving speed means a decrease in kinetic energy. The lost kinetic energy is converted into heat thereby increasing the temperature of the outside air stream, while the temperature of the inside air stream is further reduced. The cooling path of the heating unit 71 and the antenna 40 is connected to both ends of the eddy current generator 73, respectively. Thus, the configuration in which the insulating plate 3 is heated and the antenna 4 is cooled at the same time can be implemented with this simple configuration. Meanwhile, although the vortex generator shown is used as a facility for supplying heated air and cooling air, the facility is not limited to the eddy current generator. Coolers with other configurations can be used, and facilities for supplying heated air and facilities for supplying cooling air can be separately provided. Next, the energy loss reduction structure of the substrate processing apparatus will be described with reference to Figs. 15 to 19, which can minimize the energy loss in the chamber surface and ensure plasma uniformity. The lining protector 81 is mounted on the inner surface of the chamber wall as shown in Figs. 15 and 16. Each of the liner protectors 81 is in intimate contact with the corresponding corner of the chamber and the corresponding chamber wall. Fig. 15 shows a lining protector 81 which is fitted on the inner surface of the frame outside the upper cover frame (9) (on the W portion of Fig. 1), and each of which is from the corresponding corner of the upper cover frame 20 toward the outer frame The inner surfaces of the peach neighbors extend. Figure 16 shows that when the split frame 16 201135837 (25, see 2jg|Chu, Fig., etc.) is not assembled inside the upper cover frame 2' or the lining protector 81 is disposed in the housing of the chamber 10 instead of the liter ° In the case of being placed around the upper cover frame 20, Vipassana s蒦|§ 8 1 of the loyalty, J text.
